DEFAMATORY PUBLICATION
NESTOIL LTD and NECONDE ENERGY LTD categorically reject and condemn a malicious, reckless, and wholly fabricated publication titled:
“$2 Billion Bank Debt: Nestoil and Neconde Demand $40 Million Refund from Lawyers After Supreme Court Defeat.”
The story is entirely false, grossly defamatory, and designed to mislead the public, intimidate the judiciary, and malign individuals through invented claims of bribery, judicial compromise, and criminal conspiracy.
For the avoidance of doubt:
No such payments were made, demanded, or contemplated by NESTOIL or NECONDE.
No Supreme Court judgment ordering payment exists. No judge has been bribed or compromised; naming or insinuating otherwise is an abuse of free expression and an attack on the judiciary.
The publication presents no evidence—no court record, banking trail, or sworn testimony.
The alleged “$2 billion bank debt” and figures cited are pure fabrication.
The deliberate invention of figures, sources, and judicial findings constitutes criminal falsehood, cyber harassment, blackmail, and institutional sabotage. Authors, sponsors, publishers, and amplifiers are hereby notified that such conduct attracts joint and several liability under Nigerian law, including defamation and interference with judicial proceedings.
Immediate demands:
Full withdrawal of the article from all platforms.
A public retraction and unqualified apology with equal prominence.
Immediate cessation of any further repetition of these allegations.
This notice is issued as a final opportunity for restraint. Failure to comply will compel NESTOIL and NECONDE to pursue all available civil and criminal remedies without further notice.
Issued without prejudice to further action.
